Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Philadelphia 76ers Revealed
The Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers are facing off in a highly anticipated showdown on Tuesday night. This game will be nationally televised on TNT, as the league made sure to highlight this matchup between two of the best teams in basketball, and arguably the two the best players in basketball this season.
The Nikola Jokic vs. Joel Embiid matchup is the one that everyone is excited to see, and Jokic has officially been upgraded from questionable to probable. The Nuggets have released their injury report for this game, and Jokic is was initially listed as questionable with a left hip strain, but is now probable to play.
In a very strange injury report, the Nuggets initially listed their entire starting lineup as questionable. This is the type of thing that is often only seen when a game is part of a back to back set, but the Nuggets did not play on Monday, and they do not play on Wednesday. Because of this, it seems reasonable to assume that Jokic and the rest of the starters will be good to go, as they have all been upgraded to probable.
If everyone is able to play, this should be one of the more exciting games this season. The Nuggets and 76ers had great battles last season as well, so this one should be no different.
This game will begin at 7:30 PM EST in Philadelphia.
